Nick,
Before you get carried away with extensive measures, give the affected areas a good treatment of Fabreeze odor eliminator. I was successful in eliminating odor from my mom's car when she left a quart of milk under the seat for 3 months (this was from her last use of her car before she could no longer drive). I tried several things and even contemplated cutting out the carpet to get rid of the smell. The Febreeze worked great and didn't harm anything either. The car is still in the family and there is no odor after 5 years. Soak it good.

Ok, so I went out to the car today, haven't really used it. Noticed awhile ago it smelled a bit funky, figured it was from being closed up.
Looking in the back seat, I noticed the carpet where it meets the back seat was all discolored on one side. I felt it and it was wet, then I said to myself. "this car hasn't been in the rain"
So out came the back seat and as you can guess, a huge mouse nest along with a dead mouse.
Other than taking out the bad carpet pad, shampoo the capet and clean it. Any other suggestions to rid of the smell and disinfect. I'm hoping some of the carpet stain comes out, although it is time for new carpet, it's not really in the budget this year.
